Need help dating a pot on my old sunburst LP Deluxe

[Elmore]

I have a LP Deluxe that I bought in '75. I was told it was a '69 back then, but I am fairly sure it is not. It is a cherry sunburst. It has "Made In USA" on the back of the headstock. It has a volute. It has a mahogany neck. My guess is '70 or '71. The rhythm tone pot has this code:
CBA - 811 - 1158500KAT. This follows no pot code dating scheme that I have seen. Does anyone know anything about this type of pot code and what year it was made?

I don't know that pot code, but AFAIK "Made in USA" started in '70, so your guess looks right.

a search turned up that number in this thread - but it appears he also had the CTS number ' I guess on another pot.

That is not the dated code we look for.

Thanks, TW, and everyone. I just read at

that I need to look on the side of the pot on this model. I will do this.
